ᐅ If Building Again – What Would You Do Differently?

I wouldn’t miss the electric roller shutters in terms of functionality; we rarely use them. However, I find the straps visually unpleasant.

The electric ones have the advantage that you basically don’t have to use them at all. They are supposed to move up and down automatically and that’s it.

Of course everywhere

then these should of course be controllable centrally from multiple points. We’re not living in the Middle Ages.

The same applies naturally to lighting and alarm systems,

I find your choice of words for the question a bit unusual and somewhat off-topic… Middle Ages seems out of place.

because I consider this essential in a modern house.

In my view, this is basic standard practice.

This is not about “the modern house,” referring to a house that is technically up-to-date… two different things, like apples and oranges.
Nor is it about distinguishing between “basic standard” and “simple standard,” at least not what you obviously take for granted as simple standard.
Kati is not asking for a list of upscale standards here… please read again carefully, otherwise your post will be deleted.

No, we initially commissioned phases 1-4… but with the goal of commissioning the following work phases as well, if everything develops as we expect.

Only up to work phase 4? — but you mentioned the detailed planning was already complete, which usually comes in phase 5 (?) — and what happens then: an owner-led tender, and the architect only returns for construction supervision in phase 8?

We are currently under construction, but what I would add for you:
electric shutters with a central switch, so you don’t have to operate each one individually

Controlled in groups via PLC, with suspension of terrace exits to prevent accidental lockouts. Apart from exceptions like this, switches have no place in a smart home anymore.

Of course, I stand by what I wrote, and it definitely applies to the question asked. If you didn’t implement such simple things in your first house, then you should consider doing so in the next one. This is exactly what Kati also mentions in her first post.

From my point of view, this leads (once again) nowhere, since it’s too individual.
Otherwise, all houses would already be the same by now.

For someone who is right in the middle of the planning phase, this thread is very valuable for "checking" and "balancing." Due to overconfidence, there are only two categories: "we have that" and "total nonsense." 😉

Hello @11ant,
You want to be sure about this 😉, see my answer below

I probably wasn’t very clear, we are only in design phase 2... I was referring to the architect’s general way of working, which in my opinion leads to good results and avoids surprises. And if we are satisfied with the work up to phase 4, there is nothing to prevent commissioning the remaining phases as well, including the tendering process.
